Administrators can grant or rescind operator access to these functional areas of IMC as well as to specific
features within these areas.
Next, administrators create device groups, which enable administrators to group devices by device type
(usually a grouping of similar device types).
Once device groups are created, administrators can assign operators to a device group, granting them
access and rights to manage the devices in that group. Operators cannot view or access devices that are
not included in the groups to which they have been granted access.
Lastly, operators can create custom views, which also allow administrators to grant, or restrict, access and
management rights to a group of devices in the custom view.
After creating the operator groups, device groups, and device views, the administrator assigns or restricts
rights through the configuration of the operator account.
In addition to these flexible role-based administrative controls, IMC provides administrators with the
following administrative controls over IMC features and the devices managed through IMC:
•
Supports secure operator access to IMC through LDAP or RADIUS authentication.
•
Provides operators with the ability to view the online activity of IMC operators and tools for logging
online operators off and blocking their access temporarily or permanently.
•
Employs the concept of access control to enable administrators to permit or deny operator access
to IMC based on individual IP addresses as well as IP address ranges.
•
Supports IT compliance practices by providing audit trails that detail changes IMC operators have
made to devices in the infrastructure.

IMC provides comprehensive element management for multi-vendor devices such as HP, H3C, 3Com,
